L'oiseau [English translation]

I know the light mists

The pink snow of winter mornings

I could find you

The white hare that we never see

But the bird, the bird who flew away

And I will never see it again

Because I saw, I saw the bird

I saw the bird, I know it has gone away

I heard it cry

The beautiful bird that the wind chased

I would like to give you everything

But why do you say nothing to me

What is your big secret

A man's secret

I understand it well

But you know I can tell you

How many birds left with regrets

If one day you listened to me

You would learn all I know

The bird leaves then it comes back

You might see it tomorrow

This is the bird you loved

The jealous bird I guessed

If it ever came back,

I would tell it that you've been waiting for it
